Vision

To provide an environment in which children enjoys their learning process

Our curriculum covers a broad area of learning objectives for children between the ages of 18 months to 6 years old. We adopt the thematic and hands on approached to learning. The curriculum is developmentally age appropriate to cater the various learning needs and promotes independent learning for the children. Greenland introduces and carefully nurtures skills and strategies designed to create a cumulative effect, developing competence in all developmental areas.

Moral Values

We at Greenland strongly believe in advocating moral values from young. Moral values typically refers to teaching pupils the difference between right and wrong. These can be taught to children through methods such as individual education, group education, opportunity education and story telling.
Furthermore, socialization skills will also be inculcated; for example sharing and caring. In addition, moral values such as respect, obedience, politeness, responsibility, honesty, humility, good manners, friendliness, empathy and care to the less fortunate and giving back to the society. Children will be able to put what they have learn to real situation and people.

Language & Literacy

Language and literacy composes of learning to read and write. We believe in developing language and literacy skills through interactions such as storytelling, singing songs, phonemic awareness, penmanship, current issue, show & tell, reading programmes and communicating to one another. Adults—parents and teachers play a very crucial role in preparing young children for future school success and in becoming self-confident and motivated learners.

Reading Programme

Greenland has an extensive English reading programme using Letterland. Letterland was created to teach phonics using a story-based approach. The story logic engages children leading to long term retention of concepts. Letterland is wonderfully multi-sensory. It activates every learning channel through music, actions, alliteration, movement, song, art, games and role-play. Letterland phonics makes learning to read, write and spell fun for children.

At Greenland we begin the reading program at three years old and Nursery 1 (N1). The reading programme comes with audio Cd and activity sheets to further enhance their reading and understanding. As the children progress to Kindergarten 2, children will be able to read independently and with confidence. Children may also extend their comprehension to make alternative endings to their favourite stories or write their own books.

Children’s thinking skills will be challenge to maximize their potential within mathematical concepts. Children are exposed to numeracy concepts that will equipped them with problem solving skills, estimation, conversing, place values, weight, size, shape, patterning and matching. A strong foundation in counting, addition and number sense too.
